“Women Beyond Borders: What’s a Box Got to Do With It? Reflections on the Body” will be on display Jan. 31 through March 14 at the John Spoor Broome Library at California State University, Channel Islands.
A free public reception and guided tours will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 24.
The exhibit will feature a selection of about 80 boxes from the “Women Beyond Borders” collection. Co-curated by Anette Kubitza, an art lecturer at CSUCI, and artist Lorraine Serena, founder and artistic director of “Women Beyond Borders,” this crosscultural women’s art project features small wooden boxes transformed into elaborate artworks that have become repositories for the personal, political and economic realities of women across the world.
The exhibit will be available for viewing Jan. 31 through March 14. Library and gallery hours are: Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, 1 to 10 p.m. For more information, call the CI Art Program at 805.437.8570, send an e-mail art@csuci.edu or visit http://womenbeyondborders.org
